Steam the broccoli florets until tender enough to mash.

Drain the broccoli thoroughly and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

Mash into small pieces using a potato masher or fork.

Add the eggs, Parmesan cheese, flour, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Mix until evenly combined.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet.

Spoon portions of the broccoli mixture into the skillet and gently flatten into round fritters.

Cook until the first side develops a deep golden crust.

Carefully flip and cook until the second side is golden and the fritter is cooked through.

Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.

Serve warm.
